Dr. Brenda Greene and the award-winning speculative fiction writer and editor Sheree Renée Thomas discuss her journey from book sales and publishing to writing short stories, poems and editing; the writers who influenced her; the emerging themes in Black Speculative Fiction; and her writing projects in editing, multimedia, and fiction. Thomas published the ground-breaking speculative fiction anthologies Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora (Aspect-Warner, 2000) and Dark Matter: Reading the Bones (Aspect, 2005). As a lover of science fiction at an early age, Thomas had a turning point when she discovered Octavia E. Butler’s novel Kindred and observed the centrality of Black women as principal characters. Her most recent writing, Nine Bar Blues: Stories from an Ancient Future (Third Man Books, May 2020) ,is her first all prose collection. She is also the author of the Marvel novel adaptation of the legendary comics, Black Panther: Panther's Rage (Titan Books, October 2022).
